The tight, cluttered,dirty area in the middle for textiles,sewing etc is cluttered,hazardous,incredibly dirty and even a fire hazard. There is stuff everywhere. 2 knitting machines that are used infrequently. Textiles and fabrics getting dusty and dirty from dust and dirt. The place is for machines. Really sewing and textiles should have their own space. There must be a room available. I love to cook but would nvr use their kitchen, it is filthy! Everything should be covered in plastic and regularly cleaned. 2 entrances which is very dirty,not food safe!

The Hackfarm, just love the name itself. Hidden entryway from the street, you have to walk along…read morethe side of a business to get to the entrance. At first glance, it's a workshop tucked away with lots of creative space. After settling in and looking around, you'll discover it's a great community workshop space for custom wood working projects, sign making, creative crafting and other "shop" projects you can think of. I especially love that the business is a woman owned business! The owner Bonnie, hosts classes and teaches in her space all the while offering folks to reserve time to use the space for a variety of projects. Truly a community space. I had the opportunity to check out the space for a Yelp Elite Event as a plus one guest. The project we were tasked with was to make a custom tray. Bonnie was generous with her time and advice on how we were going to put our trays together. She offered the paint supplies and tools needed to create it and customize it. Just chatting with her was quite the treat! We asked about her plans for the place; what her goals are as the business model evolves. She has so much passion for her work and it shows. Her handiwork is exceptional. I would totally want to return and bring friends to work on something together. It will be so fun! Call ahead and book a time slot. Bonnie and her staff will make the experience unique and fun.

Hack Manhattan is an amazing maker-space. After looking at the maker-space offerings in the New…read moreYork City area, this is the one I choose to become a member of. It's humble with helpful people and fun times. It's centrally located very near multiple subway stations and bus stops. Membership is cost-efficient (monthly rates of $50/students or poor, $100/adults with jobs). Members of Hack Manhattan come from all walks of life with various interests from quilting and beer-making to woodworking and electrical circuit design. There's even some phone phreaks that set up an Asterisk PBX with four adventure games and a monthly lock-picking class! Of course, there are going to be a few people in the world who can't stand diversity and the inclusiveness that exist at Hack Manhattan, to which is said: GO AWAY. Intolerance is not allowed at HM. There are clearly posted guidelines for behaviour and if one can not accept them, they need to go elsewhere.

This Makerspace is filled from floor to ceiling and wall to wall with STE(A)M-related equipment and…read morecomponents. The organizers are very welcoming, willing to help you partake in even quite niche STE(A)M hobbies. Some of the pieces of equipment available are a couple 3d printers, multiple types of woodworking machines, and a CNC router. I know I am missing some, there's too many to list. The nice thing is that they have open houses every Tuesday and Thursday at 7 PM. However, they do suggest that regulars consider joining as a paid member. Disclaimer: I am NOT a paid member, as of writing this review.

While we were there, Chief Operating Officer Mark Colbert gave us the Pro Tour of MakerSpaceCT. We encountered many other friendly and talented people while we were there.

Robot fighting. Ping pong. That's right -- ping pong. All sorts of fancy equipment and knowledgable people. I'm sure I missed lots of other things. In addition, you can sign up for classes to develop skills. Those skills may help people in their careers or personal lives. Five Stars
